Taken at the Southport Spit....trying out my new wide angle lens on a very cloudy moody Easter Sunday. If you look closely you will see the heads of some brave (silly?) souls in the water.
The sun sets over the Mundi Mundi Plain a shot distance from Silverton in outback New South Wales, leaving the land to the silence and chill of the night.

The lowlands here are arid, except for areas such as this that receive the wildlife-enriching bounty of water scraped by the nearby mountains from the clouds of winter storms. These wetland areas near the Great Salt Lake are an important haven for avian residents, both year-round, and migratory in the otherwise vast dryness of the southwestern US and the Great Basin region.

This is actually a test about how many people can see this post in their stream without my adding it to groups. It would be nice to let me know....(Flickr can be a pain ;-))

Because of the government shutdown in early October 2013, we could not visit the Great Sand Dunes National Park. So unfortunately remained just the view from a distance (from the Great Sand Dunes Lodge) with a telephoto lens.

Here we have a tour boat circling a bergy bit showing tourist a mini version of what the Titanic came up against. Near St. John's, NL. AND a note to those who made comments: as always you are much too kind but every comment is appreciated. And please note as well because of the distance and the angle of elevation the boat may seem closer than it actually was. But I'd caution all who get near these things to be very, very careful. I've another shot of this piece of ice with some other folks close by that I would like to post soon.
A female Kestrel I think. We were about 2m apart, a distance we both seemed quite comfortable about.
Beavertail State Park, Jamestown, Rhode Island
Lone herring gull with three black scoters, identifiable by the orange-yellow "knob" at the base of the bill, which look like faint orange-yellow bokeh balls at this aperture. The scoters were my real interest, but they maintained their distance while mocking me the whole time.

from a distance
bette midler
From a distance the world looks blue and green
And the snow capped mountains white
From a distance the ocean meets the stream
And the eagle takes to flight
From a distance
There is harmony
And it echoes through the land
It's the voice of hope
It's the voice of peace
It's the voice of every man
From a distance
We all have enough
And no one is in need
And there are no guns, no bombs and no disease
No hungry mouths to feed
From a distance
We are instruments
Marching in a common band
Playing songs of hope
Playing songs of peace
They are the songs of every man
God is watching us
God is watching us
God is watching us
From a distance
From a distance
You look like my friend
Even though we are at war
From a distance
I just cannot comprehend
What all this fightings for
From a distance
There is harmony
And it echoes through the land
And it's the hope of hopes
It's the love of loves
It's the heart of every man
Iit's the hope of hopes
It's the love of loves
This is the song for every man
God is watching us
God is watching us
God is watching us
From a distance
Oh, God is watching us
God is watching
God is watching us
From a distance

Stonechat - Saxicola Torquata
The stonechat is 11.5–13 cm long and weighs 13–17 g, slightly smaller than the European robin. Both sexes have distinctively short wings, shorter than those of the more migratory whinchat and Siberian stonechat.
The summer male has black upperparts, a black head, an orange throat and breast, and a white belly and vent. It also has a white half-collar on the sides of its neck, a small white scapular patch on the wings, and a very small white patch on the rump often streaked with black. The female has brown upperparts and head, and no white neck patches, rump or belly, these areas being streaked dark brown on paler brown, the only white being the scapular patch on the wings and even this often being buffy-white.
European stonechats breed in heathland, coastal dunes and rough grassland with scattered small shrubs and bramble, open gorse, tussocks or heather. They are short-distance migrants or non-migratory, with part of the population (particularly from northeastern parts of the range, where winters are colder) moving south to winter further south in Europe and more widely in north Africa.
Population:
UK breeding:
59,000 pairs
